Jumping from "A Game of Thrones" comes the story of what happens when the first book ends.

Two men are dead, and the Iron Throne is up for grabs. A red comet is seen by all across the sky, and its messages are mixed. A war breaks out in Westeros and many people are taking sides. And all in all, there is fighting and death to be spread across the pages of this book.

My review: Excellent sequel to a great book; I can't wait to read the third book.
